We could tell you about the Olympiad experience, but this time, we let the students do the talking. ๐.
By the end of the tournament, their experience had become bigger than rankings, medals or trophies. It became confidence. Curiosity. Friendship. The courage to speak. The humility to be questioned. And, as one student beautifully put it, โthe art of being a scientist.โ
This is the 09th Uganda National Science Olympiad, told through the eyes of the students who lived it.

One day. Hundreds of young scientists. Months of research. Presentations defended. Arguments challenged. Evidence questioned. Medals won. A National Champion crowned.
But beneath all of that is the idea we have spent nine years building: science should ask more of a young person than remembering the correct answer.
It should ask them to investigate.
To question.
To defend evidence.
To listen when someone disagrees.
And sometimes, to change their mind.
That is what happens inside our Science Fights.
That is what we have been building for nine years.

Best Reviewer - Nyende Louise Daniella of Gayaza High School
Congratulations to them ๐.
The Foundation also recognised six Students of the Year, young participants who had gone considerably beyond competing for their own teams and had taken on leadership roles within their respective schools.
The six awardees were Aris Favor of Uganda Martyrs Namugongo, Laura Thekla of Nabisunsa Girls, Raphael Jude of Acorns International School, Janice Charlene of Taibah International School, Alele Queen of Immaculate Heart Nyakibale, and Ssekayombya Barnabas of Merryland Entebbe.
Mr. Oluka Julius of Mt. St. Maryโs College Namagunga was named Chaperone of the Year, in recognition of his outstanding contribution to the advancement of the Science Olympiad programme at his school.
This award is intended to draw attention to an often less-visible part of academic competitions: the teachers and school coordinators who identify students, organise teams, support months of preparation and create an environment in which young scientists can thrive.
Congratulations Mr. Oluka ๐.
